8/24/2024 11:57am I rode my ebike a lot the first year, then got kinda bored. Most people I used to ride all mountain with on normal bikes are now riding more enduro on ebikes and it's not my thing. I don't care much about going fast either up or down, I care more about being in movement through the landscape. I wanted an ebike to make the ride longer (and less painful), not faster and steeper. I mostly ride my rigid fatbike now. But the whole group I used to ride with has changed, kinda exploded with covid. Well I think we're...

8/15/2024 10:30am Lots of great talking points. I’ve been running an ochain and also have felt a noticeable improvement especially under braking. It makes me wonder how much influence our current drivetrain system (chain, derailleur, clutch) has on suspension performance and if gearbox bikes also suffer from “chain growth” and pedal kickback.

8/5/2024 2:16pm Thanks for the recommendation but the Sharks are really pricey. I could pick up 2 Dachle HDs from R2 for just a little more than 1 Shark from Lordgun. Definitely interested, but they are a wee bit costly.

8/2/2024 9:23am The Dachle HD is a great rotor. Not sure how it does it but it interfaces really well with Top Brake Premium Gold pads using Dominion A4 calipers. Can do a little stoppie without body input. HS2s have been disappointing. Looking for a replacement, unfortunately can only purchase more Dachle HD rotors from r2 or bike24 and need to purchase several to make it worthwhile. Wish there was a comparable rotor for the same cost in the US. I see Galfer a lot, but the rotors cost double or more.

In the world of costly bike parts, Trickstuff has always had a special aura around it. Unapologetically dedicated to building the finest brakes money can buy, this German company makes a premium product and charges a pretty penny for it. We wanted to look past the sticker shock to find out if they also deliver value for money – keep reading to find out how we’ve been getting along with the Direttissima. Strengths Weaknesses Incredibly well-made product Smooth action Great ergonomics Very powerful Great modulation Consistent, dependable performance Quality and durability No bite point adjustment (only reach) The lever...

7/21/2024 1:11pm I have definitely not heard anything about the new Trek Slash+ being released on the 26th of July with the new TQ 580Wh, SRAM Maven's on the SRAM spec, weighing 20.9kg / 46lbs in size medium and the 9.9 XO AXS build pricing the same as the non-e Slash 9.9 XX AXS

7/16/2024 10:49am The Ripley of yesteryear is officially dead. No longer a light XC bike that could shred trails with 120mm. Now a 130mm bike that's pretty heavy and is actually the exact same frame as the Ripmo (just different clevis and shock between the two frames). This plus weird geo changes... Ibis trying to stay afloat/be profitable by selling two bikes with the same frame--just swapping a part and shock.

7/16/2024 8:57am Really does look like they're sharing front triangles b/w the Ripley and Ripmo. BB on the smaller sizes is super low.

7/14/2024 4:41pm I’ve been running them with the TRP rotors that are 2.3mm No issues, they do pretty well at staying straight and big fan of the gel style coating on the arms to prevent rusting

7/12/2024 2:07pm Thanks - these are helpful data points. I'll stick with the Dachle HDs. Any issues with them coming out of true?

7/12/2024 2:05pm Somehow deleted the bit about the Trickstuff Dachle HD 203mm rotor I run on my front Cominion brake setup when I edited this. Basically boiled down to the Dachle HD works great with the Dominion A4 caliper. It actually had more grip/pad interface for friction than the 200mm HS2 rotor I run on the rear. Same brake setup and pads front/rear. I also finally swapped out the rear brake line and the supposed Hayes compatible banjos and bolt are not at all. Bolt definitely does not work with Dominions although it claimed to on the website. Ended up reusing the...
